    I enjoy a lot of Christmas music, really! Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas is a fave. Always enjoy Wham of course, even if it is a bit overplayed.

    And Stop The Cavalry by Jona Lewie. Even when I was little and didn't understand the song lyrics I just really enjoyed the 'Dubba dubba dum dum" bit πŸ˜‚

    I will have to be the lone voice and say I find Christmas pop songs to be both twee, and frankly embarrassing!

    As soon as I heard Wham on BBC Radio Scotland several days ago, my remote is staying very close to hand, until at least the 26th of December. 🀒

    I hate the majority of Christmas songs. Think most are trashy and tawdry. I don't have a religion but do like traditional Christmas carols. Favourites are Carol of the bells and the Coventry carol

    Carol of the Bells is a great carol. Like you, I'm not religious but I enjoy a lot of the music. For carols, I really like In the Bleak Midwinter. There are some lovely versions of it around.

    Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade.

    As a kid in the 1980s I saw them a few times at their famous (at least locally!) gigs in Newcastle City Hall around Xmas/New Year.

    "So hear it is..."

    I'd forgotten about in the bleak midwinter. Nice hymn. When we were kids we used to go the midnight service at chapel then when we got home Santa had been. That's a long long time ago
